“For many, travel is about seeking new places to explore and discovering meaningful new cultural opportunities, and Cuba is one of the most sought-after new destinations for many of our guests,” said Orlando Ashford, Holland America’s president, in a news release. “We are excited to finally be able to include Cuba in our itineraries.”

Holland America will become the second U.S.-based cruise line to offer cruises with Cuba itineraries this year from Port Everglades.

In January, Pearl Seas Cruises’ 210-passenger Pearl Mist was the first to sail from Fort Lauderdale to Cuba offering a series of 10-night cultural voyages through April. The vessel visited Havana and several other ports around the Communist-led island.

Holland America’s new Cuba-inclusive cruises are offered in compliance with current U.S. Department of Treasury regulations that allow travel to Cuba under 12 approved categories such as educational and religious activities, family visits and humanitarian projects.

The decades-old U.S. trade embargo against Cuba still bans general leisure tourism to the island.
